HAIR WAVING DEVICE John Cecil, Boonton, NJ.

Application September 11, 1957, Serial No. 683,400

3 Claims. (Cl. 132-46) The present invention generally relates to adevice for permanent hair waving, hot and cold, and permanent haircurling, hot and cold, as well as hair setting and styling.

An object of the present invention is to provide a hair waving device inthe form of a curling envelope which is extremely simple inconstruction, easy to use, inexpensive, comfortable and edective for itspurpose and dispenses with the necessity of curling rods, clasps andpins.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a hair wavingdevice in the form of an envelope constructed of paper material having aportion thereof constructed of waterproof material and another portionconstructed of moisture absorbent material.

These together with other objects and advantages which will becomesubsequently apparent reside in the details of construction andoperation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, whereinlike numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:

Figure l is a side elevational view of a plurality of the hair curlingIdevices assembled in position for use;

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken substantially upon a plane passingalong section line 2 2 of Figure 1 illustrating the details ofconstruction of the hair curling device;

Figure 3 is a front view showing the curling device in open conditionwith a curl for-med therein; and

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the hair curling device with no hairtherein.

Referring now specifically to the drawings, the numeral generallydesignates the hair curling device of the present invention for use inconjunction with strands of hair 12 on the head 14 of a wearer. Thestrand of hair is formed in a spiral manner to form a sculpture stylewave and the hair waving device includes an inner circular membergenerally designated by numeral 18 and an outer circular membergenerally designated by numeral 16 with members 16 and 18 generallyforming a circular dat reservoir for retaining Ithe strand of hair 20which has been Wound into a scuplture style curl.

The outer member 16 which is disposed adjacent the head and is larger indiameter than the inner member 18 includes an annular ri'ng or odsetperipheral annular edge 22 formed on a backing 24 having a central slot26 formed Y therein for receiving the strand of hair. The annular ringor odset edge 22 is formed by reversely folding the edge of the backingmember 24 with the inner edge 28 secured thereto by any suitable means.Diametrically opposed slots 30 are formed in the reversely folded edgeforming the annular ring or odset edge 22 and the edge 28. Also, thebacking member 24 and the remainder of the outer member 16 may beconstructed of fibrous paper which has high moisture absorbingqualities.

The inner member 18 is provided with a circular mem- 'ber 32 ofWaterproof material having an annular pef ripheral odset edge 34 and aninwardly extending ange principles of the invention.

36 formed by reversely folding the edges of the member 32. The annularodset edge 34 as well as the member 32 is provided with diametricallyopposed tabs 38 for reception of slots 30. One of the tabs 38 of themember 32 is received in and connected to one of -th'e slots 30 anddiverging side edges of the tab 38 extends into the edges or ends of theannular member 22 thus hingedly connecting the members 16 and 18together so that the member 16 may overlie and generally encircle theinner member 18 as illustrated in Figure 2 thus'forming a reservoir forthe sculpture curl 20.

The outer member 16 as shown has a paper handle 40 thereon and it may beprovided on either of the members 16 or 18 or on both of the members 16and 18 for facilitating the opening of the members 16 and 18.

VIn using the present invention, the hair may or may not be firstshampooed and a strand thereof is pulled through the 1A inch opening orslot 26 in the outer member 16 and a sculpture ringlet 20 is then curledby using the strand of hair and the members 16 and 18 are closedtogether thus enclosing the curl within the envelope. If a cold wavepermanent is desired, the strand of hair is moistened before closing therings. If hair setting is desired, the same procedure is followed andthe rings or edges when closed will act as a pin or clip for holding thecurls in position. This enables the curl to be neutralized while in theenvelope and can be dried without taking the envelope down in permanentwaving or hair curling whereby the hair can be styled in the manner itis to be worn.

The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the Further, sincenumerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilledin the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exactconstruction and operation shown and described, and accordingly allsuitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, fallingwithin the scope of the invention as claimed.

What is claimed as new is as follows:

l. A hair waving device for mounting alongside of the head comprising afirst sheet of material adapted to be disposed alongside of a head, anannular peripheral odset edge on said first sheet of material, saidfirst sheet of material having a centrally disposed opening forreceiving a strand of hair, a second sheet of material disposed inspaced parallel relation to said first sheet of material, an annularperipheral odset edge on said second sheet of material, said odset edgesbeing disposed in facing relation to each other, the odset edge on thefirst sheet of material having a diameter greater than the dia-meter ofthe odset edge on the second sheet of material and telescopicallyreceiving the odset edge on the second sheet thereby forming a reservoirfor receiving a coiled strand of hair, handle forming means on each ofsaid sheets of material, and means interconnecting the edges of saidsheets of material for releasably retaining the same in enclose-drelation to a coil of hair with the odset edges in telescopic relationwith each other, said first sheet of material being constructed ofabsorbent material with the second sheet of material being waterprooffor retaining waving solution on the coiled strand of hair.

2. A hair waving device comprising an inner circular member and an outercircular member, each of said memthe reservoir, and means holding themembers together with the annular edges in telescopic relation to eachother, said means including bendable paper tabs on one of said membersand diametrcally opposed notches in the other of said members forreceiving the bendable tabs.

3. The combination of claim .2 wherein the said one member isconstructed of absorbent material and the other member is constructed ofwaterproof material.
